The HSV-1 test is performed to confirm if a person has been previously exposed to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). It does so by detecting the presence of IgG antibodies that are produced in response to a past or prolonged infection. Getting tested for HSV-1 Igg can help manage the infection and prevent it from spreading to others.

Overview of the HSV-1 IgG Test

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) or herpes is a virus that causes infection related to the skin. It is highly contagious and can be spread through sexual contact or skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Herpes can be of two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2.

HSV-1 mostly spreads by oral contact and causes infections in or around the mouth (oral herpes or cold sores). It can also cause genital herpes.
HSV-2 spreads by sexual contact and is characterised by sores in the genital area.

A HSV-1 test is usually performed to diagnose HSV-1. The test does not detect the virus itself, but instead detects the HSV-1 IgG antibody that is produced by the immune system in response to the virus. A positive HSV-1 IgG means that the person was infected with HSV-1 sometime in the past. On the other hand, a negative result means that the person is not infected with the virus. However, premature testing before enough antibodies are produced can lead to a false-negative result.

While there is no cure for HSV-1 Igg positive, timely diagnosis with the help of the HSV-1 IgG test can help manage it with medicines.

When is the HSV-1 IgG Test Prescribed?

The HSV-1 IgG test is usually prescribed by the doctor when someone is experiencing symptoms of HSV-1 infection. Common symptoms include: -

Blisters
Sores
Fever
Weakness
Swollen glands
Pain or tingling in the infected areas
Flu-like symptoms

Besides the symptoms, the test is also recommended if someone:

Is pregnant or planning to get pregnant, as an HSV-1 Igg positive in pregnancy indicates past exposure to HSV-1. This means the mother is unlikely to contract a primary HSV-1 infection during pregnancy, but can still experience recurrences.
Were or are you sexually involved with an HIV-infected person
Feel that they are infected but have no symptoms
See recurring symptoms, but the results are negative.

Time Required for Test Report + Next Steps

With an extensive network of labs, highly trained staff and doctors, and fast and accurate reports, Max Lab is the best place to get an HSV-1 test done. To book the test with Max Lab, one can visit our official website and schedule an appointment at the nearest lab location.

Once the sample is collected, the test report will be generated within a week. The reports can be either collected directly from the Max Lab or conveniently downloaded from our website.

An HSV-1 test result range above 1.2 generally indicates HSV-1 IgG positive, a value between 0.8 and 1.2 is considered borderline, and less than 0.8 is negative. However, remember that the HSV-1 IgG range can vary from lab to lab. This is why it’s essential to have your HSV-1 Igg test results interpreted by your doctor, who can provide accurate guidance and recommend appropriate HSV-1 IgG treatment options based on your health situation.
